Calf Stretch
Daily Essentials
•
2m 45s
Release your calf with this easy to do calf stretch. I give multiple different positions so you can find one that works for you depending on your tightness and range of motion.

Prop needed: I used a bolster but you can also use a pillow, rolled up towel or yoga block.
